My living room has 3 windows, 2 about the same size and one is 1/2 size smaller. I'm following the traditional/classic decorating pattern/design. Should I use the same curtains/drapes on all three windows? Or perhaps use 3 different styles/models?

I already have the Croscill Napoleon (with swag valances) on one of those 3 windows.

Thanks.

basically all the same if they're all in the same room. choose a style that can be modified from the larger windows to the smaller one and still look mostly the same but proportioned smaller. don't choose a style that looks great on the larger windows, but looks completely wierd on the smaller one.

you don't say which window you've got the swag on now, but if can look good on both the large & small windows, you're fine using that. or if the smaller one is too small, you could go with the ascot valance there, which looks good on skinny windows. since they're all in the same fabric, and hopefully all with the same details, that would be fine, too.
